More than 96,000 students are attending D.C. schools — a 3 percent increase from last school year — according to preliminary data from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education.
The charter school population has grown almost every year since OSSE began citywide counts of students in 2007, but the traditional public school enrollment has been in steady decline since the 1960s.This year, however, the traditional school system rebounded, hitting its second-highest figure since 2007 of 50,204 students, data show. There are 46,449 students in the city’s charter schools.
Enrollment in D.C. public schools hit its lowest point in four years last school year, prompting researchers to predict even further decline. A study by the D.C. Policy Center, a local research group, indicated that falling birthrates and droves of adults leaving the District or pulling their children out of schools during the pandemic was propelling the stagnation and anticipated decrease.The city’s public schools were losing the most students in the prekindergarten years during the pandemic.
Bowser made the announcement during a visit to the Advanced Technical Center, a career preparation program housed at Trinity Washington University in Northeast Washington. Students there can take high school and college-level courses in cybersecurity, general nursing and health information technology.
“As we continue through the process of reimagining the high school experience, the Advanced Technical Center is a good example of how we can work together, across sectors and with our partners in the community, to create opportunities that set students up for success in school and beyond graduation,” Bowser said.
